APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT

 Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA), the undersigned has been constituted to be their attorney-in-fact for filing 

with the Department of Transportation copies of agreements adopted by the IATA Traffic 

Conferences. 

 On their behalf, and pursuant to Sections 41308 and 41309 of Title 49 of the United 

States Code and Parts 303.03, 303.05 and 303.30(c) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, I am filing with the Department this application for approval of an IATA 

agreement. 

 This agreement and related factual and explanatory material and documentation 

required by 14 C.F.R. 303.31 and Department and Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) precedent 

are contained in the IATA Traffic Conference documentation summarized above. 

 This agreement arises from the continuing process of Tariff Coordinating Conferences 

and was developed in the context of prior Department and CAB rulings addressing related 

resolutions which reflected regulatory and market conditions then in effect. Thus, the present 

agreement should be viewed as part of a dynamic process of IATA Member airline 

adjustment to governmental and economic factors. 

 On previous occasions, the Department has found such agreements to be consistent 

with the public interest when they do not result in fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious 

to competition in the markets at issue. Approval of the present agreement would not yield 

fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition. Moreover, approval of this 

agreement, which reflects compromises among the differing economic and social 

philosophies of the many nations whose airlines are parties, will advance the public interest 

in maintaining good aviation relations with other countries. 

 We request early approval by the Department of the foregoing agreement, pursuant to 

49 U.S.C. 41309, and the grant of full antitrust immunity, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41308. 

 The conferral of full antitrust immunity would be in the public interest and necessary for 

the transaction to proceed. This agreement is a product of the IATA Tariff Coordinating 

Conferences which the Department found to be anticompetitive but nevertheless approved 

and immunized in Order 85-5-32 (May 6, 1985) on foreign policy and comity grounds 

because such action is necessary to achieve the serious transportation need of maintaining 

good aviation relations with other countries and these benefits are not obtainable by 

reasonably available means having materially less anticompetitive effects. 

 This agreement concerns fares or rates between non-U.S. points and thus has at most 

indirect application in foreign air transportation. The U.S. authorities have recognized (e.g, 

Order 79-8-194, 30 August 1979) that the interests of sovereign nations in the conditions 

governing air transportation between them greatly exceed any that the U.S. might have by 

reason of U.S. airline, citizen or shipper participation. This agreement is not adverse to the 

public interest or in violation of the Act and, therefore, should be granted full immunity. 

Respectfully submitted
